Even if the pictures have been taken in a blazing sun, they convey the sense of an ominous twilight to come; they warn us that it looks, in Frost's words, "as if a night of dark intent / Was coming, and not only a night, an age." Fifteen dol1ars. THE THREE BANNERS OF CHINA, by Marc Riboud (Macmillan). "Three banners" is the Red Chinese name for three recent political phases in their country (the era of the Peo- ple's Comtnunes, the Great Leap Forward, and the new General Party Line), and the hundred and fifty photographs in this book, a third of thetn in color, give us a glitnpse of what is going on there nOW-Of, at least, what was going on before the Red Guard hoisted its own banner. The author, a French photographer, made one tour of China in 195 7 and another, In the company of a French journalist, a year or so ago, and on both occasions was able to move around more or less where he wanted to. His camera shows us the breath- taking beauty of the dragon-back mountains of Kwangsi, the appalling poverty everywhere, the happy kids, industrial progress, and spooky drill teams of eager clerks and students padding noiselessly around Peking in their cotton-soled shoes to demon- strate solidarity against the itnperialist bandits (us). Illuminating as the pictures are, however, none of them is worth a thousand words of the man who made thetn, for M. Riboud's text and captions are mod- els of sensitive and intelligent re- porting. One oddity revealed by the photographs is the cUrIously Western features that Chinese artists give their national heroes, including Mao hitn- self, on their patriotic billboards, which seem to be everywhere.

Philip Calvert, the British agent on active duty in this jaunty melodrama, is a man who, in the words of hIs mono- cled superior, "cares for the differ- ence between right and wrong, between good and evil, and when that difference is great enough and the evil threatens to destroy the good, then he does not hesitate to take steps to redress the balance." The evIl that threatens here to de- stroy the good is a gang of modern pirates operating in the wildest waters of the Hebrides, and Cal- vert, in a series of bloody encounters in tht> aIr and aboard ship and at the bottom of the sea and in a castle keep and elsewhere, manages to re- dress the balance to our total satis- faction. IT \VON'T GET You ANYWHERE, by Desmond Skirrow (Lippincott). A Fascist plot-th e dream of a kinky Welsh electrical tycoon-to hlack out Britain and in the ensuing panic take control of the country is more or less frustrated by a secret agent named Brock, who moonlights as an adman. Brock, who tells the story, also talks like an adman (the May- fair version of the Madison Avenue metaphor), and since Mr. Skirrow IS a very amusing writer, the story is very amusingly told. DEVIL TAKE ALL, hy Martin Caidin (Dutton). A truly bruta] thriller about four men of Neanderthal fe- rocity-an unarmed-combat special- ist, an airplan e pilot, an electronics expert, and a psychotic moneyman- who undertake to steal nine million dollars' worth of plutonium from an eÀperimental plant in southern CalI- fornia. It is twice the length of the usual thriller (nearly four hundred pages) and almost twice as silly, but M r. Caidin's ability to write with speed and persuasion tnakes us follow hitn mindlessly to the end. . MOST FASCINATING NEWS STOR)'" OF THE WEEK [The following item, reprinted in its entirety, is from the fr'hite Platns Re- porter-DtspatchJ TULSA, Okla. (AP)-Retired farmer H. M. Williams has been spending win- ters in California and summers with his three ddughters in Oklahoma for many years now. When the time came for this year's annual trip to the West Coast he decided to try something different. . Sen. Cohen and his Democratic col- leagues deserve great credit for their past efforts in behalf of all manner of social reform, including mental health reform. I t is understandable that they do not want Gov. Volpe and Lt. Gov. Richardson, who supervised the drafting of the Volpe bill, to get dll the credit for the mental health reorganization. But they will only lose politically if they block the Volpe bill, for it is both sound and urgently needed. Politics and mental health do not mix. -Editorial tn the Boston Globe. And never did.
